Marriage, Divorce, Child Custody, and Family Law
Any person in a North Carolina prison can submit a marriage request to the facility head and, if the facility head approves, can get married while in prison. Facility heads can deny a marriage request if the person is in restrictive housing, if the marriage presents a security threat, or if of the people seeking to get married are both in jail or prison. For more information, see NCDPS Policy and Procedure Manual (F.0300 Inmate Marriage Requests).
